Joey Cape and Tony Sly Announce “Acoustic Volume 2”

Joey Cape (of Lagwagon) and Tony Sly (of No Use For A Name) have revealed that they will be releasing a second split LP, Acoustic Volume 2. In it, Cape will record five acoustic Lagwagon songs while Tony Sly does five stripped down No Use For A Name songs. On top of that, both are offering up a brand new song as well. Cape explained:

Last year Tony and I collaborated with Jon Snodgrass and Brian Wahlstrom and released an LP called Scorpios. It was great fun, but the original split we did in 2004 for Fat Wreck Chords, entitled Acoustic has often been in our conversation over the years. We perform so many No Use For A Name and Lagwagon songs in our acoustic sets. After extensive touring together and almost 8 years since Acoustic, it seemed like a good time for a sequel. The new split, simply called Acoustic Volume 2, came together naturally and effortlessly. I have always liked the idea of an acoustic version of a band’s song. It’s nice to hear it stripped down. My feeling is, the song often rings more true and its original inspiration is honored. But hey, I’m an old man. Hahaha. Just hope others share my feelings.
